Profile

I joined the University of Leeds as a Research Technician in November 2016 before taking the role as a Research Fellow in Gastrointestinal Disorders in 2017.

I obtained my PhD from the University of Hull in 2017 with one publication in International Journal of Oncology; Measuring the response of human head and neck squamous cell carcinoma to irradiation in a microfluidic model allowing customized therapy (Cheah et al., 2017; Int J Oncology 51, 1227-1238).

My current role as a Research Fellow is working with and in support of Professor's Houghton's research to ensure the completion of several projects. They are (1) Persistent bowel symptoms post-Clostridium difficile infection (CDI): Better definition of symptoms, insights into possible mechanisms and appropriate management; (2) Impaired pharyngo-esophageal motility and clearance of refluxate and/or swallowed boluses in respiratory disease and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD); and (3) Treating IBS with titrated ondansetron (TRITON): Barostat assessment of rectal sensitivity and compliance.
